Scientists Convicted of Manslaughter in Italy.

So people, an Italian court in L'Aquila convicted 7 scientists and seismologists of manslaughter for not properly warning residents of a coming earthquake and sentenced them to six years in prison -what a joke. If it was not so sad it would be laughable. Is it any wonder that many Italians do not trust their government or the systems of ..ahem..ah.. justice? Last time I read about the Italian courts they were overturning the ludicrous 2009 murder conviction of Amanda Knox. Let us all hope we don't ever get hauled in front of an Italian judge. And no, this is not a third world dictatorship. Italy is a democracy and traditionally ranks in the top 7 largest economies in the world, although it  slipped to number ten in 2012.
